US Preventive Services Task Force Issues Recommendation Statement on AFib Screening

NCDR Study Shows Steady Improvement in GDMT Adherence For STEMI, NSTEMI Patients
There were steady improvements in process measures and increased adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) among patients with STEMI and NSTEMI between 2009 and 2018, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
NCDR Study: Minority of Patients With MI and AFib Receive Guideline-Recommended Antithrombotic Therapy
Adults with myocardial infarction (MI) who also have atrial fibrillation (AFib) are at risk of a recurrent ischemic event, but a minority of these patients receive antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy for the guideline-recommended duration, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.
